I think one of my incisions is infected. Both of them started hurting a few days ago - just extra sensitive if I accidentally touched them. I figured this was normal healing pain or maybe I wasn't be as careful since I'm not feeling any abdominal soreness anymore. The left side started hurting even more so I checked it out more closely today and it definitely looks different than the right side. It almost looks like I pulled the stitches apart a little bit and the wound was too open. Probably when I was high and running around freaking out about Bear and Binky. Fuck. Of course it's Sunday, so there's no one in the office. I guess I have to call first thing in the morning and hopefully I'll be able to at least see a nurse.
The after-care "Surgical Site Infections" sheet can go fuck itself, by the way. It says that most infections can be treated with antibiotics but some will require another surgery in order to be treated. I don't need to hear about that possibility, just surprise me with that info later please.
Fingers crossed that it's not infected or can be easily treated.
I really hope it's not an infection and if it is, it's minor and easy to treat. FX for you!
